How to Mount a File System From the Command
Line

Mounting a file system from the command
line is often performed to test a new mount point. This type of mount allows
for temporary access to a file system that is not available through the automounter.

In this instance, the /export/share/local file
system from the server bee is mounted on read-only /mnt on the local system. Mounting from the command line allows for
temporary viewing of the file system. You can unmount the file system with umount or by rebooting the local host.

Caution –

Starting with the Solaris 2.6 release, all versions of the mount command do not warn about invalid options. The command silently
ignores any options that cannot be interpreted. To prevent unexpected behavior,
ensure that you verify all of the options that were used.
